AC Milan centre-backs Simon Kjaer and Matteo Musacchio both have minor injuries to overcome before Milan travel to face Fiorentina this weekend. Kjaer was subbed out at the 44th minute against Torino due to a muscular issue. Musacchio was unable to come off the bench to replace him due to some tightness in his calf.

Kjær, left thigh flexor problems. The extent of the damage will be assessed tomorrow with a resonance exam.
Musacchio: contracture in the right calf, today he did the necessary treatment and tomorrow there will be a new clinical-instrumental evaluation. pic.twitter.com/NTu3Pkkgfj
MinaNews.it are reporting that Kjaer will undergo an MRI today while Musacchio will undergo treatment and further evaluation over the course of the week. It remains to be seen if the two centre-backs regain their fitness this week or whether Matteo Gabbia will get his first start in a Milan shirt this weekend.
